Saxton Oval Pitch Report:

The pitch tends to favour bowlers more during the initial phase of the game, as batters find it challenging to anticipate the line and length of the ball. However, as the game progresses, the batters find their rhythm, and scoring runs becomes easier. While bowlers may dominate in the early stages, batters are required to spend some time in the middle to adapt. Teams winning the toss at this venue might choose to bowl first, capitalizing on the conditions that initially favor the bowlers.
